ATMitations (bonus points awarded for clever name) make you appear to have over $400,000 in the bank. (In your non-interest-earning checking account, where all the people who have that kind of money keep their spare cash.) You’ll look like a rich-but-maybe-not-the-brightest type; everyone will want to be your best friend.
Actually, these are mostly intended as bait for those who’ll never consider how you should be investing that wad. The package suggests using them to pick up people in bars, for fooling co-workers and impressing friends. For optimum success, reserve their use for complete strangers, those who deal in Favre units of currency, and/or those who have a tenuous (at best) grasp on reality. You can see how happy an ATMitation has made the woman on the package. She can’t believe her good luck—she just met her dream man, and it’s left her a little short of breath. She’s mentally buying a wedding dress, a McMansion and more shoes than she ever imagined. She knew, of course, that she loved him the minute she laid eyes on him, before she had any idea about the money.
